4. Pest risk assessments for quarantine pests

4.1. Quarantine pests for pest risk assessment


Pest risk assessments are presented in this section for the pests associated with mangoes that were found to be quarantine pests for Australia in the categorisation process in Appendix A. Pest risk assessment determines whether the risk posed by a pest achieves Australia’s ALOP and whether phytosanitary measures are required to manage the risk.

Some of the organisms assessed here have been considered previously in other import policies and risk assessments already exist for these pests. For those pests that had been considered by Biosecurity Australia in other risk assessments and for which import policies already exist, the need for new pest risk assessments was investigated. Where appropriate, the previous policy has been adopted for these pests associated with mangoes from India. To highlight the pests for which policy already exists, the superscript ‘EP’ has been used. Additionally, some organisms identified in this assessment have been recorded in some regions of Australia but due to interstate quarantine regulations are considered pests of regional concern. These organisms are identified with a superscript of the state for which regional pest status is considered.

Pests requiring risk assessments are listed in Table 4.1. To simplify the assessment process, pests have been considered in groups where they are closely related and share similar biological characteristics, behaviour on the host and pathway, and potential phytosanitary considerations.
